Episode Synopsis

Cindy Esliger talks about envy in this episode. Different from jealousy, envy is often viewed as a negative emotion. But Cindy explains how envy can be a powerful positive force in our lives and careers if we handle it right. She advises on how to view it for the best instead of letting it impact us negatively.  Envy and jealousy are often confused as the same but envy arises when we desire something someone else possesses and jealousy involves the fear of losing something that’s already ours. Envy is a natural emotion that we frequently try to deny feeling or suppress in ourselves. That unwillingness to acknowledge evy can lead to bitterness and resentment. But acknowledging it can lead to positive outcomes.  Cindy lays out five tips on how to identify envy triggers in a healthy way: 1. Recognize our feelings, 2. Understand the source of the envy, 3. Focus on our own goals, 4. Practice gratitude, and 5. Seek support. Envy acknowledged can help us identify directions we want to take in our own careers and things we might be lacking that we should pursue. There are definite benefits in exploring envy and Cindy explains them in detail, shedding light on how to reframe envy to work for us instead of against us. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Analyze Your EnvyAstronomic Audio—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
